The 40th Newbury Spring Festival fortnight draws to a close this weekend, with a grand orchestral concert at St Nicolas Church on Saturday night, at which the Festival Chorus celebrate their 20th year.

Stephen Barlow conducts Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra in an all-Mozart programme, with thrilling extracts from Don Giovanni and his 40th Symphony.

The Mass in C Minor concludes this year’s festival and will be preceded by a blessing prayer from resident artists, the Tibetan Monks of Tashi Lhunpo Monastery.
